Working with my hands: A Retrospective | Steve Emma

I’ve executed sculptures in wood, stone, terra cotta, wax, bronze, and cut and folded copper sheeting. Most sculptures are executed from ideas from drawings. A few are direct carvings. Most of the wood I have scavenged from downed trees, dumps, and roadside waste places. People give me wood too.
All wood carvings are from native woods.

Most of the stone sculptures are made from industrial grade stone taken from torn down buildings. I also have carved some from quality marble I purchased from a Vermont quarry early in my artist career. Most were executed from preliminary drawings. A few were directly carved

Opening Reception June 6th 2026 5-7pm at AS220 Project Space Gallery 93 Mathewson St.

Easter | Emily Falkowski

In this exhibit I present paintings and garments depicting scenes from the crucifixion story, supplemented with bodies and experiences specific to my world and upbringing. I blend contemporary themes and personal narrative with traditional religious iconography, to piece together a visual language that is specific to how I have understood God. I wanted to portray the suffering, transformation, and ecstacy of the crucifixion using bodies and stories that are familiar to me, because I wanted to show those people and experiences reverence.
I’ve painted clothing, and masks to present relics and objects that could be worn and lived in. The body of Christ is crucial to the story of his death. Similarly our bodies are crucial to our stories of suffering, transformation, and ecstacy, and I wanted to create work for our bodies as well.
Some of this work ends up feeling humorous and irreverent, while other pieces are challenging and dark, but I think that’s the nature of our humanity. Divinity is indiscriminate, unconditional, and everywhere.
